American National Standards Institute, Inc. National Fire Protection Association, Inc.
1430 Broadway or Batterymarch Park
New York, NY 10018 Quincy, MA 02269
Due to high temperatures, do not install the heater:
• Where curtains, furniture, clothing or other flammable objects are less than 42" from the front of the heater.
• In high traffic areas.
• In windy or drafty areas.
WARNING
DO NOT PLA CE CLOTHING OF OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space unless provisions are provided for adequate combus­tion and ventilation air.
(a) Walls and ceiling exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarded with a rating of 1 perm (6 x 10 kg per pa-sec-m²) or less with openings gasketed or sealed , and (b) Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors, and (c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, gas lines, and at other openings.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m³ per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space is defined as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m³ per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not fur­nished with doors, are considered a part of that unconfined space.
11

Page 7
INSTALLATION
The following formula can be used to determine the maximum heater rating per the definition of unconfined space:
BTU/HR = (L1+L2) Ft x (W) Ft x (H) Ft x 1000
50
Consider two connecting rooms with an open area between, with the following dimensions:( See Fig. 2, Example)
L1=15-1/2 Ft., L2=12 Ft., W=12 ft., H=8Ft
50
=52800 BTU/HR
If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation would be based only on the room with the heater.
BTU/HR=(15-1/2) x (12) x (8) x 1000
50
=29760 BTU/HR
When installing the appliance directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the appliance must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
WARNING
FIGURE 2.
If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, or applicable local codes.
WARNINGWARNING
Ensure the minimum clearances shown in FIGURE 3 are maintained for accessibility for purposes of servicing and proper operation. Left and right clearances are determined when facing the front of the heater.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wait 30 seconds before readjusting the heater when the control has been turned down to a lower setting.
WARNING
MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
If the pilot will not light using the piezo ignitor, you can light the pilot with a match. First, locate the pilot. The pilot is located between the two burner tubes on the right end (facing the unit), inside the firebox. To light pilot with a match, move the gas control (knob B, pg. 12) to the pilot position and hold down. Light match and place near pilot. Once pilot is lit, continue to hold the knob for about ten seconds. Then follow steps 7 thru 10 on page 12.
CHECKING FLAME APPEARANCE
Flames from the pilot, and burner should be visually checked when the heater is installed. In addition a periodic visual check of the flames should be made.
PILOT FLAME
The pilot flame should always be present when the heater is in operation and should just touch the top of the thermocouple tip (FIGURE 10).
If the pilot flame does not touch the thermo­couple, then the main burner is unlikely to func­tion reliably (FIGURE 11).
FIGURE 10. Pilot Flame
FIGURE 11. Incorrect Shape of Pilot Flame
